The truth about strength training 💪🏽

For women, estrogen naturally declines during perimenopause and beyond, it becomes harder to build and keep muscle. That’s exactly why strength training becomes more important, not less.

We’re not lifting to get bigger.

We’re lifting to protect our bones, support our metabolism, maintain muscle, and stay strong enough to do the things we love for years to come.

If you’ve been avoiding the weight rack because you’re worried about getting bulky, I hope this gives you permission to rethink it.

Strong looks different on every woman. And I think that’s something worth celebrating.

MOVE Sonoma County is here to help you build strength for life—not just for today. 💛

The end of a month tends to sneak up. One day you look at the calendar and realize a whole stretch of life happened while you were just living it.

I see a lot is how quickly we move past our own progress. The win gets noticed for a second, then it’s on to the next thing on the list. We’re quick to register what we didn’t get to and slow to give ourselves credit for what we did.

The growth that’s quieter, the kind that doesn’t come with a finish line, usually goes uncounted entirely.
It’s worth slowing down for a minute before the month turns over.

You did more than you’re giving yourself credit for! 🙌🏼✨

If you’ve been looking for a more personal approach to fitness, I’d love to welcome you to MOVE Sonoma County.

Fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I don’t believe your workouts should be either.

Whether you’re brand new to exercise, returning after an injury, navigating pregnancy or perimenopause, or training for your next race, you deserve coaching that meets you where you are.

At MOVE Sonoma County, you can expect:
• Personalized modifications and progressions
• Hands-on coaching and form correction
• Support that’s tailored to your goals
• A welcoming community where questions are encouraged and every body belongs

My goal isn’t just to lead a workout—it’s to help you move better, get stronger, and build confidence in your body.

You’re not just showing up for a class. You’re receiving coaching from someone who knows your goals, celebrates your progress, and is invested in your success.

🧘🏽‍♀️Slow flow yoga is a deliberate, breath-led practice that transitions smoothly between poses but holds them longer than a standard Vinyasa class.

It builds muscular strength, improves joint flexibility, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system for stress and anxiety relief.

The benefits of a slow flow practice cater heavily to both physical and mental well-being.

🧘🏻‍♀️Holding postures for extended periods allows muscles to safely lengthen and increases the range of motion in joints.

🧘‍♀️Slower, deliberate movements and sustained holds force your core and stabilizer muscles to engage, building muscular endurance.

🧘🏾‍♀️It is a low-impact workout that gently lubricates the joints and relieves chronic tension without high-intensity strain.

🧘🏻‍♀️Practicing slow, controlled transitions between poses trains your body to move with grace and stability.

🧘🏼‍♀️Deep, rhythmic breathing combined with slow movement actively lowers cortisol levels and calms the nervous system.

🧘🏾‍♀️It serves as “meditation in motion,” teaching you patience, focus, and a deeper awareness of your body’s physical cues.
